Hello everyone!
Can anyone tell me where i can find the stock 600w inverter? I don't see a breaker for it on the panel so i'm not even sure there's one installed.
thanks!

Re: 1993 440 aft cabin inverter location
Since I’ve never had an inverter, I’m no expert, but I’m guessing you would have to have some kind of breaker or transfer switch if you had one. Are you able to run any kind of 120v light or appliance when not hooked to shore power or running your genset? Probably not. Why do you think you have one and if you did, 600 watt isn’t very big

Re: 1993 440 aft cabin inverter location
If carver had installed it theinverter breaker in the electrical panel will have one there. The oem inverter on my 405 was by the electrical panel underthe dinette. The only thing it was installed for was for the "home style audio equipment " 600watts isn't much. So if you don't have that oem audio that's another chance you probable don't have one. I've since moved on with removing that puny inverter and installed another and for other things in the boat.

I don't remember which model it was, but recall someone having an OEM inverter behind a panel behind their TV in the salon.

That sounds reasonable. It could be dedicated only to the TV with no breaker or transfer switch. TV runs off 12v power only.

MY stock 600w inverter was labeled tv ant.The inverter only runs the entertainment system stereo, tv and tv antenna amplifier.The inverter itself is in the aft bedroom on the bottom shelf of the closets at the foot of the bed.Inside the entertainment cabinet there is a automatic transfer switch you can here switching from shore power to inverter power.I kept the stock inverter and upgrader the home style tuner. In my opinion a lot simpler than the 12v systems and a lot better quality of sound.
